a few different ways.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains stop

will turn it off until you reboot next

chkconfig --level 2345 ipchains off

will keep it from starting up at boot time

echo "" >/etc/sysconfig/ipchains

should zero out the rule set, but rh does some stuff with ipchains in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup
